Had the pleasure of watching a pod of Orcas for about 30 minutes about 10 miles west of Pt. Delgado CA, that's Shelter Cove just above Fort Bragg, about a week ago. They came up to within about 200 yards and we watched them with the engine shut down for quite a spell. We estimated there to be about 5-7 individuals, one being a youngster. They appeared to be feeding on fish schools and traversed back and forth with no discernable pattern. Pretty lucky, as I have not had as good a look in about 10 years and that was up in the San Juan Islands, in Boundary Passage, next to the Canadian Border. Mike Capt.
